In this episode, Why Location Matters: Country and Site Placement Strategy, we explore why geography is more than a backdrop—it is a strategic lever in early phase oncology trials. From patient access and regulatory timelines to investigator expertise and data governance, every decision about trial placement can accelerate or stall innovation.

Join host Maria Garcia and Ken Morrison, as they unpack how Fortrea’s EPON Network optimizes site selection to deliver speed, precision, and confidence in early phase studies.

Host: María García Requesens, Medical Director Fortrea

Participant: Ken Morrison, Global Leader of Strategic Delivery and Growth in Oncology
